modify-dashboard

modify-dashboard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ccfos/nightingale. It costs 89 tokens per session (2,220 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for changing an existing Nightingale monitoring dashboard, which is a collection of charts showing system or application data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to change variables, Prometheus or VictoriaMetrics queries, chart titles, legends, units, descriptions, series, or chart types such as turning a single-value chart into a time series.
Why use it?
It helps update dashboard variables and chart settings while respecting which data sources support query changes and which do not.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

modify-dashboard scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill: Nightingale (N9E) Modify an Existing Dashboard

Help users modify an existing dashboard using natural language — not create a new one. Three typical kinds of requests:

Request What you change
Change variables A template variable's value expression (definition), default value, whether it is multi-select (multi), display label (label)
Check and fix variables Scan variable definitions and the references to variables inside charts, detect smells (a chart references an undefined variable, a variable returns no value, datasource references are inconsistent, etc.) and fix them
Change chart series The series of a chart (panel): query expression (PromQL), legend, unit, adding/removing series, changing the title, changing the chart type (e.g., stat→timeseries)

Editing series queries (queries) is only supported for Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics panels; SQL/log panels (mysql, ck, es, etc.) can only have their unit, title, description changed or be deleted — passing queries will be rejected by the tool.

Iron rule: a single proposal call wraps it up; confirmation is done by the system

update_dashboard is a proposal-style write: after you call it (passing only the part you want to change), the tool computes the diff, directly shows the user the list of changes and pauses the conversation; once the user confirms, the system automatically persists it to the database — the confirmation step neither needs nor goes through you. Therefore:

  1. First call get_dashboard_detail(id, include_config=true) to read the current variables, chart summaries, and variable health check.
  2. After working out the part you want to change, call update_dashboard once, passing only the variables/panels/fix_datasource you want to change. This call is the last step of this turn; the system takes over the display and confirmation.
  3. Do not render the change table yourself (the system will show the list generated by the tool), and do not pass proposal_id/confirmed (those are parameters for the system's confirmation channel).
  4. When the user rejects or raises a new requirement, you will receive feedback in a new turn: just recompute the changes per the feedback and call update_dashboard again (the old proposal is automatically voided).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
